Also known as the dead Internet theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

When I first heard about it on /x/ about 6 years ago I thought it was a bit of a morbid joke around how if all your human interaction is online you can't definitively state that the universe exists outside your front door. But recently it's started to look like more of a true statement that, at least as far as the internet goes, it will soon be impossible to know if anybody you interact with actually exists.

FWIW I'm actually looking forward to this happening, for every social activity that is often claimed to have been better before the internet (ie dating, casual debates about politics, etc) has a potential to return to its pre-internet status quo as people come to the conclusion that none of it is real and gradually drop out. Internet will still exist as a valuable tool for transmitting data but the concept of online communities and social networks will suffer and degrade until there's nothing but spam like usenet did.
I feel bad that I feel this way but I really dislike them, but I can't believe those gamer chairs became the mainstream chair to see over the last few years. A few years ago they would get clowned, then it was less, and less, but it is cool that we're being more inclusive about chair themes.

I know it was twitch and them giving free chairs away to get more people to buy them. Great marketing.

I don't watch many movies, but I 100000000000% agree that this is happening on streaming music platforms.

It's straight up impossible to get a non-remastered version of many titles on any platform, and having albums that you stream but don't own yanked out from under you at any time is common. Triply so if you're into niche stuff.

Shit, even the mono recording of Beach Boy's _Pet Sounds_ is the 2001 remastered one!

This is problematic when producers or studios decide to conveniently remove or replace tracks in re-releases, though I fortunately haven't run into this too often.

Those albums were made with the equipment that was available at the time. In most situations, listening to remasters of those is like watching old movies with motion interpolation (or whatever it's called) on. It's _technically_ the same movie (or album), but it's also not.

Try watching Popeye or any classic animation movie on a modern TV with its default settings. It's unwatchable (at least for me).

The other frustrating element about this is that TVs were not designed with backwards-compatibility in mind. While I get that there are differences between CRT and LCD technology, you shouldn't have to buy a ton of hardware to use S-Video or RCA inputs these days. It's understandable for this to get cut in a market where cost matters more than anything else, but it still sucks shit that I can't "just" buy an old VCR and plug it in.

Fortunately, audio hasn't changed very much in the last 50 years and audio equipment _was_ designed with backwards compatibility in mind. I can plug in some old big box speakers from the 70s into my Sonos Amp because it takes copper input, for example. Because of this, it's easy to get a record/cassette/CD player and get vinyls/tapes/CDs of important albums.

Regardless, it's a shame that streaming became what it is today (ultra convenient, but easy to manipulate and alter), and complaining about details like this feels like screaming into the void and it sucks. (Audio quality is at the bottom of the list of things that people listening to 10s samples on TikTok through their iPhone/Galaxy/Pixel front speaker give a shit about)
Absolutely you should live somewhere where you have friends nearby. Or better yet live somewhere you can make friends who are nearby. Big cities are the best when you're young and single because there's just so many more opportunities to meet new people that you can make friends with or date. I think the article talks about being with your childhood friends, and maybe that's good for some people but people who make good friends when their 10 won't necessarily be a good fit for each other when they're 25 and that's ok.
A free smartphone only for this. I don't want it on my phone.
ChatGPT and gpt-4o are different things. ChatGPT is an application built around a LLM like gpt-4o. It does some retrieval and has custom prompts, etc. They’re not going charging you by token because some of those tokens are search results and their own prompts, which are out of your control, so it makes sense for them to charge a flat fee.
I'm scared artists will give up because audiences won't have enough trust to pay enough attention to distinguish them from AI spam. But I wonder how that equation changes when artists can authenticate that something came from them. (This goes for other kinds of art too.)
Addressing Threat Posed by Foreign Adversaries Access to Sensitive Personal Data
Not sure if sarcasm, but in case it is not: in theory accountants could see this coming but most benchmates were junior book keepers, with no visibility into their employer's financials.
This in the response made me cringe a little:

> I wanted to continue with what was working and with what our partners had signed on to distribute.

How does he know it was working? He says it so matter of factly.

And that’s what this big-mad comes down to.
Rather than an “intentional community” which sounds kind of overbearing to me, I’d be happy to have some way to filter for houses/apartments that are simply in proximity to others who are at least open to making friends and want to be pleasant, neighborly, etc.

I don’t need or particularly want there to be any obligations or explicit organization facilitating this. When people are friendly and open, it happens naturally. You see someone walking the dog and strike up a conversation.

I guess if there was some way to anonymously self-identify as sharing this preference and it got enough traction, you could flag neighborhoods and even specific blocks with more of these people, and then the concentration would perhaps increase over time as people who value these things would pay a bit more to live in these areas.
What if we just didn't do borders instead? Seems like it worked fine for the EU.

These days, I'm more likely to read the manual pages and take notes on interesting bits. If I'm going to rely on some tooling for some time, dedicating a few hours of reading is a good trade-off for me. No need to even remember everything, just the general way it solves the problem. Anything more precise is captured in notes, scripts, shell history,... I dare anyone to comes out with an essay like this from LLMs: https://karthinks.com/software/avy-can-do-anything/
Talking about licensing is going their way, what we need is ownership, not licensing.
I'd say the comment section of the website acoup.blog (which have been linked a few times on HN, that's how I discovered it), the commenters usually give the impression they've read the article. Of course it can also be due to the fact that it's a blog comment section, not those of a link-sharing site.
Regarding the Phugoid pattern and the GPS spoofing:

> Flight-tracking data from FlightRadar24.com showed the aircraft making what appeared to be a figure eight once nearing the airport in Aktau, its altitude moving up and down substantially over the last minutes of the flight before impacting the ground.

> FlightRadar24 separately said in an online post that the aircraft had faced “strong GPS jamming,”

The claim that a landing inside Russia was denied is as of now a rumor. But since the black boxes have been found:

> On Dec 27th 2024 Brazil's Investigators have arrived on site, the black box(es) are to be read out and decoded by CENIPA.

The voice recording will resolve this. The fact that it was shot is almost a certainty:

> On Dec 27th 2024 the airline reported that preliminary data suggest the aircraft was subjected to external physical and technical impacts.

Why is he surprised? He doesn't speak their language, is just a privileged sportman running through their town/city/village.
In Taiwan, there was a huge scandal decade ago about this exact same issue — people discovered vendors were using plasticiser to make the boba jelly like.

Im sure most of the boba shops in the US import ingredients from Taiwan, so its not surprising here

Neither is African. I don't think you would get away with a similar statement regarding Africans even though it's fully true that African isn't a race.

I've been using a reverse osmosis water filter at home to reduce microplastics and other contaminants from my drinking and cooking water for the past few years. I am using the #1 recommended product on Buyer's Guide[1] for others who are interested.

In Columbus we have, "The Compost Exchange" and as a small farmer I get their compost delivered.

It is now so full of plastic contamination it's just not worth it anymore. Its disgusting what I find in there, countless grocery bags, Keurig cups, people don't care and I don't save enough money to be worth picking out plastic.
As a related thing, I have sound/vision synesthesia.

It is a little like what was shown in the movie Ratatouille where the mice see colors related to what they smell only for me it is sound related. If you want to know more feel free to ask.
1. Siri treating it as unlocked on device

2. setup shortcuts with a timer to access mic when disconnected from a Mac.

3. add BT/Wifi devices when connected to Mac (aka persistence by author).

4. stolen device protection bypass given you have Mac signed in with same Apple ID.
The actual quote is:

> Saree explained that the operation “was carried out using eight cruise missiles and 17 drones, resulting in the downing of an F-18 fighter jet while the destroyers attempted to intercept the Yemeni drones and missiles.”

So I think its possible that it was both a friendly fire incident and that the downing was the restult of the the Yemini attack.
It is less about the quality of work, but that the source itself should have some form of ‘blame.’ Plagiarism is still a risk, and the main deterrence against it is the reputation of the authors.
Yeah, jeans should qualify as dressy enough for a chess championship in 2024. It's presentable and not insulting. We left the 50's a long time ago.
Hi Ian. Sorry to see this happen to the company you founded. Can you say what the board's strategy was that conflicted with your vision?
I think there's probably a much more efficient way to pack the correction data than JSON. For example, if you wanted to embed a 10MB video file in there, the correction data would be huge.

In the project there, correction data is used to recover bytes that have been changed into LF when they are actually CR or CRLF.

One idea is to store the correction data as binary, then read two bits every time you see a LF byte. It's either an actual LF, a CR, or a CRLF. The downside is that binary data itself could need correction as well, and encoding nearly 1-bit data in 2 bits is still wasteful (but simple). Packing five 3-state values into a byte is less wasteful and would eliminate forbidden symbols, but is still not optimal.

I do agree that conceptually the government shouldn’t force you to buy things from private companies to exercise your rights.

However, you already have to buy a passport (often for a lot of money) in most countries, so pragmatically, I don’t know that it’s a hugely different thing to ask. However, there’s a big difference for children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

Immigration tends to stretch human rights though. It costs >10k gbp in visa fees for a British citizen to return to the UK with a non-UK spouse from arrival to settlement. You also need to be earning a fair bit of money, and not have the British partner as a stay at home spouse. I would say that frustrates article 8 ECHR, but the government disagrees.

There are countless examples of similar issues re international travel and immigration. Smartphone ownership is simply one of many.

You can barely do anything before having to extend the language in a way. It's super simple and as such gets in the way as even the simplest stuff needs some extending/(much attention). Admittedly I have little of experience with Lua, did the work and moved on.
I'm not arguing against the UX of those tools, but isn't this a case of the problem being a hard one to solve and people having different needs? ffmpeg has a lot of knobs, but that's just the nature of media conversion and manipulation, just like ImageMagick. I'm not against using LLMs for restricting the search space to a specific problems, but I'm often seeing people not even understanding the problem itself, just its apparent physicality.
Very cool! I like the simplicity of it. Right now I'm working on something similar for myself (and some of my family), but maybe other people find it potentially interesting too? Essentially I'm building a webapp that each time I use it will arrange random ~5-7 lower back exercises from a list of ~25 for a total of 10 minutes session. Then it will guide me (only time and name of exercise) through the workout session (counting down the exercise time, and pause/break time). The problem I'm solving is to not have to think too much about what exercise I should/want to do next, make it a little bit more fun/interesting (due to randomness aspect) and free my hands from operating a timer to time myself (also less likely to drift to social media or youtube videos).

They already did this with the EU settled scheme in UK.

It’s a little disconcerting because you’re literally one „computer says no“ incident away from not being able to return to your own bed.

Literally zero paperwork was issued to fall back on so you’re entirely dependent on a DB server somewhere

Probably going to get a UK passport too just to manage risk. (Already qualify)

We can’t get people to drive EVs to reduce emissions and preserve an essential resource (oil), future generations won’t have the resources to destroy themselves with superhuman AI.
Yeah and they’re now rolling that out to everyone, not just EU citizens. This sucks the most for visa nationals because their passport isn’t good enough to get into the country. They need the server to be alive and their documents linked to even make it to the border, let alone to cross it.

Travel to the UK is going to be really chaotic from 1st Jan when all BRPs expire, and 8th Jan when US citizens and other non-EU nationals require ETAs.
You're right, SingleFile (which is capable of saving pages in this format) does a little better than the demo, but it can also be optimized. In fact, I chose the JSON format to keep things as simple and didactic as possible for the presentation. I think I need to use your suggestions to optimize this structure in SingleFile ;)
Microwaving the food in the food containers reduced the plastic chemicals on average, it didn't cause any leakage according to the results. Weird.
For anyone not familiar, a common class of techniques people used to use (still do? Not mentioned in the article) involve regularly testing yourself to see if you're in a dream. Counting your fingers; in dreams, you may not have 5 per finger. (Sound familiar from a modern take?) Or, look at numbers and words; a digital clock; in dreams they may not make sense, but in real life they do. (OK, this is really sounding familiar...)

The idea is that when you check while awake, you will pass the awake-check, but set up a habit pattern. While dreaming, you will observe weird stuff when this happens, realize it must then you must be dreaming; you then become lucid, and can sort of control the dream, or at least be aware you're dreaming.

It may or may not have worked for me a handful of times. It certainly felt so, but only briefly, and I can't confirm it was the desired effect. Would wake up shortly after each time.
There’s plenty of subsidized senior housing in New York. My grandmother is in a complex like that right now, and all she does is collect SS.
The $100 thing is kind of a standard that a European court just established in a Facebook data leak case!

In the case of full location data, it would need to be a lot more though. Yes, that might bankrupt the company. They should have thought about that before they illegally stalked nearly a million people then put their highly sensitive data on the Internet.

If I did this to one person, I'd probably (and rightfully) go to jail. I'd like the same standard applied here.
How AI Understands Us: The Secret World of Embeddings
I used to write music in the past, and I mostly do it to tell stories or a songification of a poem. When I lived alone, it was easy because I can record anytime I wanted in full silence. Now that I am with family, I can’t record without a background noise seeping on my vocals.

I found that AI helped a lot, I can still write the story, the poem, the lyrics - and just let AI find a melody that represent the story as close as how I imagined it on my mind.

I mostly design and write the story first, then captures the story as poem or lyrics, then let AI “cover” it for me. I don’t want AI to write for me because the story and lyrics is what I cared about, and I like to put metaphors and hidden messages on it.

For example, this album that tells about the phases of life as seasons is AI generated.

It's not a DMCA thing at all. DMCA 512 is actually pretty straightforward, you're referring to YouTube Content ID, a completely separate parallel takedown system that YouTube made at the behest of their content licensors.

If the media companies had their way, everything would work like YouTube Content ID, because that's the system that minimizes their enforcement cost. What they want is to make everything Someone Else's Problem.

music.youtube.com is fantastic. My playlists are 80% classics from the 60s to 2000, so the source actually probably doesn't matter. I'm not interested in most styles of new music anyway I suppose!

The algorithm still suggests some forgotten classics. On YT music I can find entire albums of somewhat more obscure yet excellent artists that are completely missing from Spotify.
